Sorry this isn't really diet related, but i can't seems to find a decent food processor. Now that i'm cooking like a nut, i'm finding that my cheap blender just not going to cut it. I want it to do a lot of things, like chopping, mixing, blending, crushing, etc... I'm debating between KitchenAid and Ninja. Anyone have anything good to say about either, or do you have any other recommendations.

Thanks bunches!!

    I love my ninja for chopping meats/eggs/veggies for egg or tuna or chicken salads. But love my VitaMix even more for blender jobs

    Ict,

    I love my immersion blender. I use it almost every day. It has a chopper attachment, but I haven't used that part of it yet. Here is a pic of it:

    It also has a tall measuring container that you blend stuff in (not in pic).

    I hope this helps,

    I have one of these. It's big. I love it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WthrwhYm9FU

    I use it all the time because I cook for the family.

    I have used it mostly for:
    • mincing meat
    • making cheesecake
    • grating cheese (it grates a 1kg block of cheese in no time)
    • grating vegetables
    • grinding almonds into almond flour
    • making almond paste
    • whipping cream

    I use it so much it just sits on the bench with the attachments in a basket. I don't bother putting it away.

    I can't compare it to the ninja. I haven't ever seen the ninja. ;)

    I can suggest that you don't buy a Cuisinart. I thought they were 'top of the range' when I bought mine but it's weak, overheats and stops working really quickly, and the storage box for the 4 blades only holds 3 of them at a time :\ I'd owned a Kenwood Chef for 32 years prior to that and it was amazing. Not sure if they are still as good now as they were in 1975 ;)

    Oh gosh, I would *love* one of those!
